At this point I think I hate almost everyone in this insane forum.
I've never been a Djokovic fan, and I'm certainly not now. I don't want to see him get the slam record. I'm a Fed fan and have been for years.
But my GOD, I didn't want to see him lose his chance at the record in this manner. I wanted to see him beaten by someone, fair and square. Not lose in this manner.
It's obvious to anyone who is not an SOB that he didn't mean to hit anyone.
All of you who are cheering at what happened to Novak should be ashamed of yourselves. This is horrible for tennis, horrible for the tournament. No one wins from this. If anything it points out the stupidity of an antiquated system that we don't even need any more. If what happened was truly dangerous then the same thing could happen 100 times in every match.
Get rid of lines people once and for all, use Hawkeye or whatever the call the system now. Move into the 21st century.
Then start knocking off points and games for ALL temper tantrums.
About the only top player I've not seen make one of these dick moves is Nadal, also by the way not my favorite player.
For any real tennis fan what happened today should be a depressing event and not a time for either celebration or throwing mud.
And, by the way, if you are a Djokovic fan and are trying to claim he didn't do anything wrong, you are just as crazy as the people who are taking joy in what happened.
I'm just sick about what happened because it's been an awful year for all of us, and this tournament was starting to be something good in a nightmare year for sports. Now there is a horrible stain on the men's side and everyone is going to wonder if someone could stop a man who was so far undefeated this year. NOTHING GOOD WILL COME OF THIS INCIDENT.
